The Board remanded the issues of service connection for residuals of a pelvic injury, back injury, left hip injury, and head injury, as well as the issue regarding whether the injuries were due to willful misconduct.
The deciding factor: The case was remanded because the AOJ had not substantially complied with previous remand directives.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
